Raven (and I) Need You!
Tomorrow I'm writing up my review of Playstation 3's MAG. But today, today I need to earn my command stripes and spend an inordinate amount of time playing the game.
Tomorrow I'm writing up my review of Playstation 3's MAG. But today, today I need to earn my command stripes and spend an inordinate amount of time playing the game.
Nazi imagery is a big nein-nein in Germany, and the localized version of Wolfenstein was supposed to have removed all of it. A small swastika slipped through, and Activision is said to be recalling the game from shelves there.
The battle against supernatural Nazis wages on in Wolfenstein, that latest chapter in epic saga of one man's struggle against the occult-fueled Third Reich.
"Early on there was a small faction within the team that wanted the new Elite Guards to be less 'sexy' and more utilitarian in their look," writes Raven's Kevin Long. Yeah, that didn't last long.
Activision's latest attempt at re-igniting the public's fascination with the Nazi occult will be put to the test this August, with the release of Raven's Wolfenstein title for the 360, PS3 and PC.
There's a new Wolverine movie in theaters, which means it's time for another developer to take a stab at Marvel's stabbiest super-hero with X-Men Origins: Wolverine.
In the frozen wastes surrounding the Akali Lake Weapon X facility, Wolverine stumbles upon an artifact of untold power from another world...of Warcraft.
The latest developer diary video for X-Men Origins: Wolverine is a dirty, no-good secret snikt-tease.
The opening cinematic for the new Wolfenstein starts off quietly and ends like any good Wolfenstein video should - with dozens of dead Nazis.
Activision unleashes the first behind-the-scenes video for X-Men Origins: Wolverine is definitely the best at what it does: proving that the developers at Raven are a bunch of drooling Wolverine fanboys.
The new Wolverine game was always going to be a brawler. A fighter. That's what Wolverine does, he brawls, he fights. But what kind of brawler? What kind of fighter? Developers Raven have opened up.
Announced briefy during yesterday's Activision presser, here's the first footage of Singularity, a new shooter from Raven that looks like it's going to be doing all sorts of impressive, puzzley things with the passage of time. Sort of like Link to the Past, only with less green grass, more rusty…
Poor Spike TV. Their scoop's blown! The first details on the next Wolfenstein title are actually to be found in the latest issue of Game Informer, which gives us information on the game's setting and requisite gimmicky features. Aside from the obvious (you're still BJ Blaskowitz, you're still fighting Nazis who are…
Spike TV sent out a presser today, trying to drum up support/interest in their coverage of E3. Nothing in it you won't be bombarded with via TV commercials over the next few days. Buried amongst the hype and hyperbole, however, is some newsy stuff! Stuff like this: "Also, tune in for more world exclusive surprises…

Cooler weather assists fire crews in the Grampians
Recent cooler weather conditions have assisted fire crews battling blazes in the Grampians National Park.
- Print page
- Email this
- Permalink
Public information officer at the Horsham incident control centre, Jenny McGennisken says today's weather conditions "have certainly helped this afternoon with planning for the fires.
"With similar weather over the next few days and the moderate likely hood of lightning starting fresh fires, it's improved the outlook of keeping the fire contained.
"Overnight there was some very erratic and active fire which caused us to issue an emergency warning to the Cherrypool community this morning," she says.
Currently there are "291 fire fighters on the ground fighting the whole complex of fires and 14 aircraft," says Ms McGennisken.
There were three community meetings held today in the Grampians area and Ms McGennisken says there will be another one on Saturday at 10am at the Brimpaen fire shed.
While Ms McGennisken says the Victoria Valley road has been re-opened as of 4pm this afternoon there are still several road closures and only sections of the National Park are open.
People should refer to the Parks Victoria and Vic Roads websites for more information.
Although the weather outlook for the next few days is looking favourable for fire fighters Ms McGennisken still asks the public to be vigilant.
"Coming weather conditions are moderate which is going to help the fire fighters. There will also be less likely hood of lightning and fresh fires from lightning and moderate weather conditions.
"We still need to ask people to be vigilant as the fire season is certainly not over at all," she says.
You can keep up to date with the latest fire information by visiting the CFA website.

Are you feeling excited about the officially announced merger between Comcast and Time Warner Cable? If not then you aren't alone — there are plenty of other groups out there who aren't keen on letting the two most hated ISPs in the United States combine to form a broadband behemoth. The Wall Street Journal has written a handy little primer of all the challenges that Comcast will face in its quest to become the supreme overlord of American Internet service providers. In short, here are three groups that could help kill off the Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger.
- The U.S. Department of Justice antitrust division: This is the most obvious place to start since the DOJ can essentially cap major mergers off at the knees. The DOJ tag teamed with the Federal Communications Commission back in 2011 to kill the proposed merger between AT&T and T-Mobile and the result has been a vastly more competitive wireless market for American consumers. The antitrust case against a Comcast-Time Warner Cable merger might not be as clearcut, however, because Comcast and TWC don't really compete with one another. This means that a DOJ case against the merger would likely revolve around the newly merged company's market power of other key industries, namely…
- Content providers: CBS famously got into a major spat with Time Warner Cable and temporarily pulled its channels from TWC's service last year. However, CBS and other major entertainment conglomerates might think twice about playing hardball with a combined TWC and Comcast simply because its market power would be too high for them to risk losing out on business. Although Hollywood's lobby isn't as powerful as it once was, it still has a lot of clout and could make things very difficult for Comcast if it chose to do so. And speaking of powerful lobbies that could make things difficult for Comcast, let's not forget…
- Tech companies that are big net neutrality boosters: Google, Amazon, Netflix and other high-profile Internet companies really don't like the idea of having a giant broadband conglomerate picking winners and losers in the marketplace. And given the recent court ruling that struck down the FCC's old net neutrality rules, tech companies might be much more opposed to this merger than they would have been otherwise. The Journal says that Comcast will likely try to assuage their concerns by offering to extend the same net neutrality rules it accepted as part of its merger with NBC over to Time Warner Cable customers but that still might not be enough to make Silicon Valley comfortable.

It does not need to be a full fledged OS, but at least have multitasking capabilities (i.e. a scheduler).
Please mention what processor architecture it works on.
This is a survey, so exact capabilities are not really important. Think of this as being a place to look at for possibilities when your next 8-bit embedded project comes up...
I realize that most 8-bit micro do not require an OS, but just as a counter-example, Rabbit Semiconductor offers the RCM3710 processor module with 4 serial ports, a 10-BaseT ethernet port, 512K RAM and 512K Flash. All that for $39. All based around an 8-bit Z80 core.
8-bit does NOT necessarily mean extreme resource constraint.

I think I'd like to see a few more photos
It's Prunus laurocerasus and it's 'Otto Luyken' or similar cultivar. It might be Ceres' Zabeliana. It's not Prunus lusitanica.
I'd stick with the proper names for these. All the bay, bay laurel, cherry laurel business will end up with someone putting the wrong thing in the stew
Agree G. nodosum but didn't know it was called knotted cranesbill. I wonder if I'll remember
Did you get that from me Dove? It seeds well and might have hitched a lift with something
My files (mental) have cinquefoil and silverweed as two different plants Dove.
Silverweed is prettier
I think it's called cinquefoil
I have this, I dig bits up but it always comes back because it's in the grass. I don't find it too much of a trouble but if I grew alpines or other small plants I might.
Do some garden visiting this season, see what you like the look of, then plant in autumn
A few of them are native Sue.
But I agree, most of them are pretty forgiving
I can't see them well enough to give an opinion

Ndileka founded the orphan center in her house in 2005 because of the high rate of mortality due to HIV/AIDS especially women who live their young children without support and people to take care of them. The Siyaphambili Orphan Village takes care of 250 orphaned and vulnerable children "OVCs" and includes 85 grandparents, 35 CHILD headed Households and 25 Teen mothers. It serves a hot lunch daily to all and full meals for the children in residence, currently 7 in number, though the number fluctuates up to 35 and many more show up to be fed daily. The Village has 10 volunteers and 7 committee members. It has received funding in the past from foreign NGOs from Sweden, Italy, the USA and elsewhere.
Emotional Counseling - many of the orphans are terribly traumatized when they are identified [usually by the schools] and placed at the orphanage and receive daily individual and group talk and play therapy as well as drama, art and group activities.
Granparents' Support Group - From early on, Ndileka realized that many of the children in the community were not total orphans, but were being raised by a grandparent [usually a grandmother who had just lost her daughter or son] and these grandparents had no idea about AIDS and how it might affect their grandchildren and thus the weekly support group was started and continues very strong today during which the grandparents get together, do physical exercises and talk about their common issues, share news and information, get relief from the stress of raising their little ones, and feel support. Ndileka also makes frequent home visits to check on each of them and registers each in order for them to receive whatever government grants are available to help support the child in that situation.
After School Care - 35 or more children come every day after school for therapy, play, food, help with homework and those with families or grannies then go home for the night. Ndileka provides a safe place for them and nourishment of body and soul.
Teenage Pregnancy Support Program - From 2006, Ndileka, in making home visits, became even more aware of the high number of teenage girls with babies living in complete poverty and without support - the fathers take off as soon as they hear of the pregnancy. In this program, highly successful and very important to Langa, the girls get together for company, education, stress reduction, relief and aid and, again, are registered for whatever grants from the government might apply to them. Breast feeding, care and feeding and bathing lessons, support help these young mothers raise their own children and return to school as soon as possible.
Teen Father Program - this is a newer program, born from the issues mentioned above, which works to involve the fathers of the teen mothers in the lives of the children they have made - responsibility, support, staying on are the goals of the program.
Child-Headed Families - Ndileka and her staff make weekly home visits to 15 child headed families, again due to HIV/AIDS. Some of these households are headed by teenagers trying to stay in school and raise 1, 2, 3 or more siblings with no or little support from other family members. Needs are identified, emotional and physical support come only from the outreach program which Ndileka founded and runs.

I miei genitori trascorso 7 notti in questo posto e davvero bene. Grande grande sala. Ottima vista sulla città e sulla baia. Nice host. Ottimo soggiorno.
My parents spent 7 nights in this place and really enjoyed it. Great large room. Great view over the city and the bay. Nice host. Great stay.
Laurence grazie per la vostra accoglienza, la più bella stanza a San Francisco, vista sulla città, la felicità!
Merci Laurence pour ton accueil, la plus belle chambre de San Francisco, vue sur la ville, que du bonheur !
La posizione è perfetta, la camera è grande ei padroni di casa sono così gentili! Questo ha ottenuto di essere il modo migliore per un soggiorno a San Francisco.
The location is perfect, the room is great and the hosts are so kind !
This has got to be the best way to stay in San Francisco.
appartamento grande, padroni di casa sono super-cordiale, che vista! questa casa si trova su una piccola collina. ottima posizione con un sacco di possibilità di bere e mangiare. Nel quartiere di Castro, ma una bella passeggiata per missione o Haight è fattibile.
great appartment, hosts are super-friendly, what a view! this house is on a little hill. great location with lots of drinking and eating possibilities. In the castro district, but a nice walk to Mission or Haight is doable.
Laurence e Nick non avrebbe potuto essere migliore. Sono rimasti fino a salutarmi alle 11 di sera, e anche se era tardi, mi ha dato un tour completo della mia stanza ad uso privato, che comprendeva un bagno / doccia / WC, soggiorno, camera da letto grande e comodo con morbidi cuscini, e forse meglio di tutti , una personale K-Cup macchina del caffè (!) Laurence e Nick aggiunto anche dati personali, che ha reso il soggiorno particolarmente accogliente. Hanno stampato una mappa del loro quartiere e la lista di ristoranti nelle vicinanze e di intrattenimento, e mettere l'acqua frizzante sul mio comodino. Inoltre, la loro casa si trova nel cuore di San Francisco - su una strada tranquilla, a mezzo isolato di distanza da ottimi ristoranti e locali notturni. Se siete alla ricerca di una sistemazione unica e personale, vi consiglio vivamente Lorenzo e di Nick. Spero di rivederli!
Laurence and Nick could not have been nicer. They stayed up to greet me at 11pm, and though it was late, gave me a full tour of my large private room, which included a bath/shower/toilet, living room, large comfortable bed with soft pillows, and perhaps best of all, a personal k-cup coffee machine (!!) Laurence and Nick also added personal details, which made the stay particularly welcoming. They printed out a map of their neighborhood and list of nearby restaurants and entertainment, and put sparkling water on my bedside table. Also, their house is right in the heart of San Francisco--on a quiet street, half a block away from great restaurants and nightlife. If you're looking for a unique and personal accommodation, I would highly recommend Laurence and Nick's. I hope to see them again!
We loved to stay at Nick and Laurence place. The appertment really looks like on the pictures. We loved the view. It's a very safety district and nice to go out. We wanna come back if we visit San Francisco again.
We really enjoyed our stay at Laurence place. We loved the neighborhood, there are lots of nice restaurants and cafes and people are super nice. Laurence was very helpful - we can definitely recommend this place!
We were thrilled with our attic accommodation: spacious, cosy and with a breathtaking view on the city. From the living room we enjoyed both the sunrise and the sunset, at night we saw the twinkling lights of the city and the stars and we witnessed the "blood moon", the spectacular full moon with lunar eclipse. The place provided everything you need to feel at home. The energies of the room were light and harmonious. Laurence gave us a warm welcome, helped us carrying the luggage upstairs and helped us settling in. During the stay he was a caring host. Nick informed us about activities in the neighborhood by emails which was very helpful, too. We stayed there for 2 weeks and we are thinking about coming back next year!
Thank you, Laurence and Nick!
Katharina and Renata
Thank you to Laurence and Nick for making the attic room available. The room is exactly as described, and as shown in the photos. It is located just up from the Castro subway station and has easy access to busses, the street cars, and the subway.
Laurence showed us a folder full of information about the location, and Nick sent us regular emails with suggestion of things to do. We had some rain during our stay and Nick gave us more indoor suggestions.
Castro has its own night life, but it's easy to head down to Powell for theatres and more mainstream activities. There is easy access to the zoo on the subway, the bus which stops almost outside goes down Divisidero where there are quieter bars, and also The Independent which is a live music venue. Check out it's listings.
Check out was totally flexible, we had an early flight so left without saying goodbye and thanks to our hosts.
Everything was fine. Nick and Laurence are very kind hosts. They helped me with everything I need to know. The attic is exactly as shown in the pictures, perhaps even bigger as you would imagine. The big window provides you a great view over san francisco. The appartment is located in a very nice neighbourhood. No worries about taking a walk after dark.
I enjoyed seven beautiful pre-christmas days at their place. Don't be afraid about staying in an attic in "winter time", the heater makes it comfortable warm.

Students dig into nuts and bolts of auto racing
Published: Friday, May 2, 2008 at 8:07 p.m.
Last Modified: Friday, May 2, 2008 at 8:07 p.m.
TUSCALOOSA | Stock car racing may rule in Alabama, but at the University of Alabama, its Formula One cars that get engines revving.
The Society of Automotive Engineers Formula Team at UA, which was founded in 1936, spends each year building a race car to compete in one to two races.
This year, the team finished eighth overall among 43 collegiate teams from around the country at the Formula VIR Collegiate Design Challenge at Virginia International Raceway from April 23 to 26. The challenge was part of the Bosch Engineering 250 road racing series.
In addition to the racing, the competition emphasized the technical inspections of the vehicle that include braking, noise capacity, safety and design.
William H. Sutton, head of the department of mechanical engineering and faculty adviser for UAs team, said not many teams pass these tests without having to make major modifications to their vehicles, which can hurt their scores. The teams next race will be in Los Angeles in June.
The 10-person team usually starts building its car in August.
Marc Hansen, a sophomore majoring in mechanical engineering, said had basic experience helping his dad in the garage with cars.
He learned quickly how much he didnt know when he came to the university.
I pretty much had hands-on experience with just about anything [mechanical], Hansen said. However, this [team] takes it to a new level.
Hansen said the team builds about 95 percent of the race car, from the exterior to the engine and parts. The rest is designed by the team and handed off to the machine shop at the School of Engineering to build.
To prepare for competition, the team took the car out to the parking lot of Tuscaloosa County High School to test it. The team alternates four drivers to test different parts of the race car, from steering to acceleration.
The people who work on them have driven these cars before, Sutton said.
David Trawick, a sophomore majoring in mechanical engineering, said he loves driving the car and going beyond his comfort zone.
Its pretty exciting and nerve-wrecking at the same time, Trawick said.
As in stock car racing, sponsorships are important. With limited funding from the university, the team has approached several businesses around the state for sponsorships, ranging from Bell Helicopter, Alabama Bolt and Supply Inc., Alabama Power, Industrial Specialty Company Inc. and Crane Works.
Sutton said it generally takes a long time to get funding for the project, which costs about $20,000.
Sponsorship is pretty hard to come by, Sutton said. People were pretty much waiting in the wings to see if we could win or not.

I once thought I needed to write to
STDERR in some PHP code.
This particular phrase (quoted) returned zero documents on well-known
search engines, so I felt compelled to do something about it.
PHP provides STDERR (and STDOUT and STDIN) but not when running under a web server. Since that's the environment virtually all PHP code runs, they may as well not be there at all.
Thanks to Andy Bakun, I learned about PHP's
error_log() function.
When called with one argument (a message string), it sends
the string to the web server's error log (when running under a web
server), or to
STDERR (when running from the command line). So I think
it's safe to say
error_log() is PHP's do-what-I-mean equivalent of
writing to
STDERR in any other language. Usually.
Depending on your
php.ini settings,
error_log() may be going to your syslog, or some log file, which has thrown
me a few times. While debugging a Roundcube plugin,
I was wondering why none of my
error_log() output was making it to the
web server's log. Then I noticed this:
It looks like maybe at one time STDERR, etc. worked as programmers would expect but the last word on that was "Not PHP problem –> bogus."
So if you're really, really determined to print to
STDERR no matter what
the environment or the ini settings, you have to open it yourself:

The Reaction Video Supercut to Last Night's Episode of "Game of Thrones" that Smug Book Readers Totally Deserve
By Dustin Rowles | Videos | June 3, 2013 | Comments ()
First of all, to all the book readers who kept their mouths shut about last night's episode of "Game of Thrones" for the last, oh, three years, thank you. I know it was hard, and I know some of you were bursting at the seams to tell someone. As someone who works on the Internet, I don't know how I managed to avoid it, but thank you all on behalf of the lowly non-book readers for keeping that from us.
Second of all, for that, you deserve your smug satisfaction, and to take pleasure in the horrified responses. I know a lot of people, especially the book readers, were anxious to see others' reaction because, well, that's the fun part about being in the know, isn't it? To witness the reactions of those who are not.
Congratulations, and thank you. Here's you're reward: Six minutes of viewers reacting to the Red Wedding.

Anyone have a clue? why all the selling??? the cheap shares are getting cheaper by the day and the process is accelerating. is there shorting going on here? appreciate feedback....
Sentiment: Buy
Only thing I can figure is that money is going to get more expensive cutting into profits and dividends. They are saying that REITS will be paying less on that principal. Financial stocks of all types are being hit.
Fed freakout continues...I'm staying long....they'll be back, and my drip will work better while they're gone :)
Ya its all about the Fed and interest rates. I added a little today on this selloff.
It all has to do with the fed..... interest sensitive stocks are all getting hit... in mains case stay the course you will be picking up more shares in reinvested this is not a stock for in and out traders.
My guess is the market found out I bought in a few weeks ago and down it goes! Beats me ;-)
Hey that was my line! 500 shares each at $31.50 and $33.25. My signature was supposed to be tired of losing, but I couldn't even get that right.
Right now, if it has any yield at all, it will get killed. Might go up if they cut the divvy. No one wants yield anymore.

The Disneyland Hotel was built, owned and operated by Walt Disney's friend Jack Wrather in 1955, opening just about five months after the Disneyland Park. In 1961, the Disneyland Monorail was expanded to allow transportation between the park and the hotel's guests, making it the first monorail to cross over a public street. It wasn't until 1988 that the Disneyland Resort acquired the hotel from The Wrather Corporation.
Earlier today, cast members from the Disneyland Hotel celebrated its 55th birthday in style, by slicing into this cake inspired by the Disneyland Hotel itself and one of its towers, prepared by the Resort's central bakery.

Curious and Cautionary Tails opening May 26th 2016
My show of new sculptures inspired by 'Old Wives' tales, proverbs and idioms that use animals to illustrate their meanings opens on May 26th at Jack Tierney Gallery, Aberdeen.
I had great fun in asking peoples' help in sourcing these sayings from around the World, some are instantly familiar and, hopefully, many will bring a smile, reminding us of our Human frailty and weakness, but also our strength, kindness and humour. It is always good to stay aware of our own foibles.
Most of these pieces in the show have been made from recycled materials and 'found' objects, some from rubbish skips, some left at my door by neighbours who know me and many pieces found at Jumble and Car boot sales, what is someone else's rubbish, is treasure to me!
The individual pieces can be seen on my Facebook page along with their own individual proverb/saying with my own thoughts about each piece.
Another Life at Leeds Craft Centre and Design Gallery
I'm delighted to be taking part in this show in Leeds which starts on the 19th March and runs until 25th June. It celebrates artists and craftsmen who use found and discarded materials to create something new and even better! So many wonderful pieces will be there.
I have two of my animals in the show: 'Black Swan', life sized with the armature made from wooden furniture off-cuts and plaster, over which I tightly bound and stitched strips of vintage fabric, leather and black wire.
The other piece is 'Fish please' the life size cat, it has an armature of old wire netting onto which I attached numerous 'found' objects with copper from electrical wiring. Amongst the many objects used are cutlery, horse brasses, typewriter keys, watch parts, an old tin tray and several buckles and keys.

Here's couple of images of "Carriage Horse' which is on display at the Jack Tierney Gallery, Aberdeen at the moment. The name comes from all the wonderful small toy coach horses I found at a car boot sale and incorporated into the piece.

Revealed: U.S. housewife who became 'Jihad Jane' converted to Islam for a 'sense of belonging' after being raped for years by her father and becoming a prostitute at 13
The white Islamic militant who christened herself as 'Jihad Jane' has explained the some of the reasons for her conversion to violent radicalism.
Colleen LaRose, 49, of Pennsberg, Pennsylvania, pleaded guilty to several charges, including planning a jihad and conspiring to kill Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks, in February 2011.
But in her media first interview since being arrested and charged with a series of terrorism-related crimes, LaRose explained her journey to jihad. She was raped as a child, ran away from home to become a prostitute at 13 and fell into militant Islam for a 'sense of belonging.'
Abused: The woman who christened herself as 'Jihad Jane' has spoken to the media for the first time since her arrest in 2009
Abuser: Richard LaRose coldly admitted raping his daughter
In an extended report by Reuters, when asked why militant Islam was so attractive to her, LaRose replied:
'That I was finally going to be some place where I belonged. I've survived through a lot of things that rightfully should have killed me.
always thought there was a purpose for me to be alive.
'And when I found out about Islam I thought this is what I have to do, this is why I've lived so long.'
Colleen LaRose became radicalized and promised to murder a Swedish cartoonist in the name of jihad
LaRose explained the difficulties of her early life in Detroit, Michigan, leaving her as emotionally vulnerable adult.
At around eight years old LaRose, and her older sister Pat, was raped by her father Richard LaRose.
The sexual abuse continued until LaRose ran away from at 13. The girl then worked in prostitution and developed heroin and cocaine addictions.
At 16, LaRose married a man twice her age, but just a year later she turned up at a shelter for teens in Memphis and was committed to a psychiatric facility for several months.
While at this shelter she worked with counselor Ollie Avery Mannino. When Mannino rang Richard LaRose to check Colleen's story, her father answered with hesitation: 'Yeah. I raped her.'
As Reuters journalist John Shiffman, who spent six months investigating the case, wrote: 'He said it sharply, without remorse, and in such a prideful, guttural tone that Mannino snapped her head, stunned.'
Richard LaRose died in 2010, having never been prosecuted for his crimes.
Collen LaRose continued to drift, split from her first husband, and married again at 23. This relationship ended in divorce 11 years later.
LaRose claims that her father's abuse ruined her life: 'I have done all kinds of bad things. I was rebelling because of what he did and because my mother did nothing to help us.'
Failed: LaRose got as far as Sweden on her bid for murder and martyrdom but was arrested on her return to the U.S.
LaRose became radicalized and posted under the name Jihad Jane on militant Islamic websites.
When Swedish cartoonist Lars Vilks portrayed the Prophet Muhammed with the body of a dog in 2007 put a £67,000 bounty on the head of the artist.
In constant contact with al-Qaida operatives around the world, LaRose swore to travel to Europe and kill Vilks.
According to her indictment, she wrote: 'I will make this my goal till I achieve it or die trying.'
LaRose recruited other Americans, such as Jamie Paulin-Ramirez of Colorado and Mohammad Hassan Khalid of Maryland to her jihad cause.
She got to Sweden in 2009 but was arrested by the FBI on her return to the U.S.
While LaRose claims she got close to killing Vilks and achieving martyrdom, John Schiffman of Reuters claims: 'In truth, what happened proved more farcical than frightful, more absurd than ominous.'
'Jihad Jane' has been charged with conspiracy to provide material support to terrorists, conspiracy to kill in a foreign country, making false statements to the FBI, and attempted identity theft.

7618 Tasting Notes
Another evening, another cup of rooibos blend. I'm most annoyed to at I didn't get a day today to bum around drinking tea but I am greatful that we have power. Some will be without until Christmas!! Count your blessings right? We've extended our home to anyone in need, but so far most of our friends have power so thank goodness for that. I'm certainly not leaving the house tomorrow so yay for being able to work from. Home!
Still enjoying that I have this cup as a rooibos option. It's not the. Worlds greatest but it's good enough :)
So done with internet stupidity and ice storms. Had this tonight…still delicious but should have picked up more on Black Friday haha
It could be worse after the 90's ice storm my roommates sister lived with us for over a month because her parents house was in a small village and therefore a low priority area.
EG this is not. This is zhu wrong and LB….and maybe a couple spices thrown in. Again 1 min steeps is stupid. lol Pretty much feeling like i could just toss the two teas together and get mostly the same blend. Will try to play with this a bit more later. still like it..but feel more like this is like other teas than being an EG blend.
I have not tried this specific blend, but the other blends from verdant I have tried, I have always overleafed to get better flavour.
meh. 1 minute steep is stupid. i will rant more about that i'm sure. Drinkable but as not a fan of yabao…esp silverbuds yabao, i wasn't hoping for much. it's ok but i'll have to play a bit more.
i've done up to 8…. it's never gone bitter. it's a bud not a blend, exceptionally forgiving. awesome, awesome as a latte IMO. keep meaning to add nutmeg.
3 minutes…at least…don't underleaf either. All the blends this month needed at least 3 minutes no matter what the directions say…Verdant can get mad at me (which they won't) but this is gospel. 3 minutes…
another tea from earlier today. Mostly a whole lot of sleeping and watching tv on the ipad this morning until the power came back. Better notes later, but this is a happy tea for me. It's sorta just what i needed this afternoon as one of my first cups of teas in forever! stupid ice storms. give me 40 below with nice powder any day! I miss alberta!
getting close to the end of this one and it makes me sad…especially since my other half and i are currently working through the entire season of fringe. 5 seasons of gloriousness! This tea makes me happy to drink it while hanging out with walter.
I've got som backlogging to do and no idea how long my internet will be up to let me do it. While we have power here at our place which i am SUPER thankful for, the internet is still spotty and having issues.
Let me preface this by saying i HATE that all verdant's blends seem to have a steeping parameter of boiling, 1 min. The teas never taste delicious and wonderful until you change those…and really? every tea needs boiling? hmmmm
This one is from yesterday. It's tasty, but nothing to write home about. That being said, I would also be fine having this AND stacy's peppermint patty in my cupboard as they both bring something slightly different to the table. :)
Glad you have power. I've been lost in my own little world for the last few days, hadn't seen any news and didn't realize how bad the storms have been out that way. Stay safe, and I hope your power stays on. :))
i gulped this down before getting hauled outside the house on this very miserable wet evening. We decided very last minute to rent a zipcar and run over to the grocery store and ikea to get groceries for the week and stock up on frames. Anyone in need of reasonable basic frames – ikea's are on sale for 50% off right now… so you can get a 5×7 for 2.50 for example, or a poster size for 10$.
Anyway long story short…this was tasty and i loved it but i can't tell you anything beyond that, so i'll share my thoughts next time! hahaha

ROSE Blog: Rikki's Open Source Exchange
LinuxChix-India, started in 2005 by Archana Raghupathy, got a nice write-up in The Economic Times. The article includes a quote by Vidya Ayer, which illustrates a cultural reason that it's harder for women in India to get involved with computing. Ayer says, "It's the lack of infrastructure, while the lack of computer access also plays some role. Most men who don't own computers would use a friend's machine; women in India would not have the freedom to stay late at a friend's place to hack away."comments powered by Disqus

Economics Lesson In a Border Town;Why That Asian TV Has A 'Made in Mexico' Label
By ANTHONY DePALMA
Published: May 23, 1996
TIJUANA, Mexico— The towering blue sign that lights up the night at Samsung Group's sprawling new industrial complex seems out of place in this gray and grubby border town.
But in the months since it was erected, the 70-foot steel structure has become an unofficial landmark, at once a beacon for poor and restless Mexicans looking for work and a symbol of the free-trade forces that are siphoning manufacturing jobs from the United States.
When Kwang Ho Kim, the president of the South Korean conglomerate, pushed a button to activate the assembly lines at the $212 million plant on March 29, Tijuana, with a population of about one million, quietly nudged a step closer to matching the entire United States in the number of workers involved in making television sets and parts.
In all, 24,600 people are employed here by Samsung; by Japanese companies like the Sony Corporation, Hitachi Ltd. and the JVC unit of the Matsushita Electric Industial Company, and by other electronics manufacturers. Together, the Mexican Government says, they assemble more than nine million television sets a year. In the United States, where more than 90 companies once built TV sets, television-manufacturing jobs -- mostly production of picture tubes, receivers and cabinets -- have fallen to 30,000 nationwide, according to the Electronics Industry Association.
"Tijuana's got first world equipment with third world labor," said Harley Shaiken, a professor at the University of California at Berkeley who specializes in labor issues and the global economy. "They now have the ability there to handle a surprising level of complexity and some very sophisticated processes."
Mexico has always had cheap labor and thus has been a magnet for American manufacturers of low-technology consumer goods like clothing and hand tools that can be mass-produced here at a fraction of the cost in the United States. But with trade barriers falling, it has become easier for multinational corporations to make high-tech products in border towns like Tijuana and ship them worldwide.
For the old factory towns and aging industrial parks of the United States, however, Samsung's new tower looms more like a warning flare than a beckoning light. "We invented the television in the United States, and they're going to take it completely out of the country," said Nelson Silva, a forklift operator who was shop steward at a JVC assembly plant in Elmwood Park, N.J., before it shut down in March and moved to Tijuana. "I'm bitter that we lost these people, lost these jobs, not just at JVC but all over America," Mr. Silva said in a phone interview.
The big manufacturing companies say the competitive pressures of the global economy leave them no choice but to abandon workers like Mr. Silva and flee to cheap-labor countries. According to them, an Asian company churning out televisions in a Mexican town for export to American consumers is the wave of the future.
It was the 1994 North American Free Trade Agreement that sealed Mexico's status as a manufacturing center for the entire continent. In years past, Samsung operated on the principle that the best way to penetrate a market was to make the product in the same country where it was sold, said Young M. Kwon, president of Samsung Electro-Mechanics America Inc. in Tijuana.
Indeed, after being declared dead in the 1970's, the victim of low-cost foreign competition, the television manufacturing business in the United States was revived in the 80's. Foreign -- mostly Asian -- producers, spurred by political pressures and business efficiencies, opened American plants to supply the United States market.
But with the free-trade agreement guaranteeing a vast free-market zone of nearly 400 million people, Mr. Kwon said, the necessity of building TV's in the United States evaporated. "We consider this place, or America, or Canada, or in the future Latin America, one block in the market," he explained. Indeed, almost 90 percent of the 1.5 million color TV sets that Samsung will produce in Tijuana this year will be sold in the United States.
While Samsung moved its manufacturing operations here from Ridgefield Park, N.J., in 1991, it waited until the trade agreement took effect three years later to begin a big expansion. It now plans to spend $581 million over four years to double TV production to three million sets a year, as well as to turn out more picture tubes and produce more complicated items like microwave ovens. The total Samsung work force, now at 2,300, could quadruple to 9,300.
At the company's plant here, the global economy is less an economic concept than a lesson in cultural accommodation. In the entrance lobby, a sign that begins in Spanish and ends in English instructs visitors to remove their shoes and put on slippers before entering the plant.
The popularity of Tijuana among Japanese electronics companies has driven real estate prices so high that newcomers are looking at other border sites, setting off interstate bidding wars within Mexico. In April, the Daewoo Corporation of South Korea announced that it would open a $250 million picture-tube plant in the Baja California city of Mexicali because the state had offered a better deal than had neighboring Sonora.

A man whom I'm going to spend the rest of my life with.
